China was introduced to Yantai, Shandong Province by western missionaries, sailors and expatriates in 1970s, so the cherry saplings in Yantai, Shandong Province are the most authentic.

Cherry, also known as Big Cherry, Han Tao, Jing Tao, etc., is the earliest tree fruit on the market, and is known as the first branch of hundred fruits. It is said that Oriole is particularly fond of pecking at this kind of fruit, so it is also called Yingtao.
